I will choose a commitment to bravery this week. I will let go. I will accept that holding on will not allow me to change the past, but it can and has crippled my present and future for too long. I can do something good with the energy i reclaim from that constant gripping of the past, I can create, instead of being slowly destroyed. I don't understand why, even in such vague terms, it is difficult to write this. Or maybe I do know.. maybe it's because part of me Does Not Want to let go. And admitting that I must, and commiting to doing so outside of my own head is scary. I fear my own power because I have been holding onto a past version of myself, and that version didn't understand this power that we all can wield, he rejected the truth of having it, and so did not wield it with compassion or care or love. I have resented, hated, that guy for a long time. But today (and tomorrow and beyond), I let him go.
